I spent an hour dealing with Comcast's tech support when my TV said it 
wasn't getting any signal from the cable box.  By the time I got 
everything working again I was too tired and fed up with the universe to 
actually watch any of my DVR recordings.  So instead I watched a DVD.

Dogfights, S1E01 Mig Alley
A 2005 History Channel show about notable historical dogfights with 
interviews with the surviving pilots and historians intermixed with CGI 
recreations of the combat.  The show does a good job of providing the 
background for context and walks through the dogfight step by step, 
explaining the tactics and reasons.
"Robinson Risner flew an F-86 Saber in Korea at the dawn of the jet age. 
There, with a hunter's persistence, he pursued his prey whether Korean, 
Chinese or Russian leading to some dramatic air combat adventures. In 
1953 Ralph Parr leads a flight of four Sabres hunting sixteen MiG 15s 
leading to an extended dogfight. The improvements from the 1951 F-86A to 
the 1953 F-86F gave Parr a decisive advantage."
This episode covers several combats during the Korean War.



What Did You Watch?

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky 
dirty old man.
